Sooo my boyfriend got sick this past Saturday I honestly thought it was food poisoning and I know that if it happens to last more than 3 days you should go to the E.R. So the third day comes and he tells me he feels better he attempts to go to work and passes out at work I rushed him to the hospital and he had surgery we’ve been here since Wednesday night. So I left work Thursday before he got out of surgery and ithink it may have been the medication he was on but the nurses told me he woke up crying for me, so when I finally seen him he literally cried and rubbed my stomach all day. Anyways it’s not Friday night and he has to stay until tomorrow hopefully they have him on all types of stuff but I slept in a f*cking let out chair the first night & I didn’t get anything but 3 hours of sleep mind you all week I’ve been exhausted due to a family death and dealing with him being sick. So when I got up this morning I asked the hospital for a cot seeing that I’m visibly *** pregnant and they’re just telling me that they don’t have any available. I asked at 8 am it’s now 11:07 pm I’m so angry I don’t wanna leave him but my back and ass is killing me. I wanna cry sooo bad but I’m not gonna leave him because I would feel horrible and I’ve always had a hard time sleeping without him. What should I do? Is there anything I can do?

You should go home and rest. Your partner is an adult and has medical supervision and will be ok. It’s imperative you take care of yourself first. Especially since you are pregnant . Best to you and for a swift recovery.

I agree with the others, go home. He's a grown-up and should be able to handle spending time alone. In my country, visitors aren't allowed to stay outside of visiting hours. The only exceptions are with young children who can have one parent stay overnight or with patients who are dying. The hospital staff are there to take care of the patients, not to provide for visitors.

sorry you are under so much stress right now...I hope things settle down soon. my husband had surgery a few months ago and I found it hard to leave him overnight but when he gets home, you are probably the one taking care of him until he recovers so you need to get a good sleep (and of course for you and your baby too.) It was probably hard to see him crying in the hospital, but that is very common when you have just had an anesthetic.

thank you he works overnight and when he’s at work I have a very hard time sleeping. I don’t sleep until he get off or until he makes it home. It’s very stressful that he’s not around any of his family and I know if I go home he’s just gonna be on my mind all day.

go home and rest. and don't be mad at the staff. on my unit, we don't have any cots. and recliner chairs go to patients before spouses. spouses may use, only if there is one available. we are there to take care of the patient. you need rest momma.
